Hearing of Freddo's passing this evening hit me very hard. He was like a spiritual dad to me but also one of my dearest and greatest friends. We would often chat about our families, Star Blazers, Writing, History, Church topics and many other topics on our conversations. Freddo and Gail were the nicest people you could ever meet. Although I didn't get to meet them in person but we did get to meet over Facetime and Zoom on many occasions. I was blessed to have known Freddo and I will always and forever treasure the friendship we had over the years since the fall of 2000. Rest well, my brother! I will see you when the trumpet sounds to call us all home!!
